That was way late in the game.. he should have never let his foot off the gas, then the end of the second half, if Pete Carroll doesn't call a timeout he runs the clock out.. but instead we get three.

Kubiak plays not to lose, instead of to win.. The post game press conference proves the point now.

Was about to post about this. Throwing the ball up for grabs when your receiver already has a defender on him when you are up by 7 with only 2:51 left hardly screams conservative to me. But I must say that Schaub should've been smart enough there to either throw it away or eat the dirt. They were already out of Bullock's range anyways.

Bad decision by Schaub that did directly costed the Texans a win today.

I don't view the spread/no huddle offense as a gimmick.

Cowher and Chucky are both overrated. I'll stick with the staff we have, minus Marciano(he's absolutely gotta go), and go with a change at QB. I believe that Kubiak is a good coach but he's too damned loyal to the albatrosses that hang around his neck. The four games played this year have convinced me that Kubiak is shackled by Schaub, not Schaub by Kubiak. If Kubiak can find it in his heart to put Schaub on the bench and really turn Yates or Keenum lose, this team would be better off for it and Kubiak could keep his job. There is no honor in falling on the sword for standing behind a loser. Of course, if Kubiak refuses to change, maybe I'm misunderestimating his coaching ability. If we miss the AFCG, or worse yet the playoffs altogether, Kubiak is committing career suicide by sticking with Schaub.

Yeah. Ask the Sea Chickens how effective it was today. I reject the premise that NFL teams are gravitating towards it. A few teams are experimenting with it and having limited success a la Chip Kelly. Eventually NFL DCs figure the gimmick out and shut it down.

Teams come and go with it, but many use it quite regularly outside of 2 minute drills. The spread offense of today is little more than the chuck and duck (Run and Shoot for you old school Oiler fans) revisited. That offense gets shut down in crunch time when you need to control the clock.

All in all, it depends on who can execute better.

Man when I saw those 5 wide offensive sets from the a Texans today I was having run and shoot flashback. Kept hoping to see Warren Moon jog out for the Texans. Instead we just had good ol Matt "Concrete Shoes" Schaub out there...

I didn't have the game on the big screen today (thanks to Sunday Ticket blacking it out in El Centro, Ca for some freaking reason) but I'm sure DHop and the other WR's were open more than once or twice during the game.

I may have missed a lot on the board, but we just got back to Boerne from the game, and havent seen anything from tv.... just a little on 610 afterwards.

How was Kubiak aggressive? The majority of the 2nd half, he only ran the ball; I've call that clock management and pretty conservative. Other viewpoints? First half we played very well, I think the best we have this season and 3rd quarter comes and we can't convert on squat? Tate fumbles and gets benched... i get it, but there was a pretty good RB duo going prior to that atrocious turnover.... very frustrating!! Again, sorry if I'm saying anything that's been covered already I'll keep reading the thread now.

I said it in another thread. So I am repeating my disgust with Schuab.

We would have been better off with Tim Tebow out there in the 2nd half! At least he can run for positive yards!

We got our butts handed to us by the mobile Seattle QB.

Gotta feel for the defense. Busting their rears and getting another heart breaking loss.

Should never blow a 20-3 3rd. quarter lead. How embarassing can it get.

Well, Schaub hit Keyshawn "Little Hands of Concrete" Martin pretty much on target, but the ball was promptly dropped. Schaub deserves the blame for much of the loss, but it would make things a lot easier if the team had a reliable slot receiver.

That's neither conservative nor aggressive, it's just ****ing stupid. And that wasn't an aggressive playcall anyway, it was a god damn dump-off to the TE.

Martin was probably too shocked to catch the ball.

We got our butts handed to us by the mobile Seattle QB.

Let me see if I get this correct:

Seattle scored one offensive TD.

Seattle kicked two FG's in regulation, one of which was after they recovered a fumble on the Houston 21 and could not gain a single yard.

Seattle had 5 series where they gained 0 or negative yards.

Seattle punted 6 times

Seattle had two turnovers

Seattle gained 50% of their TOTAL yards in regulation on their one TD drive in the third quarter

Wilson had over 50 yards of his total 77 rushing yards for the game on that same drive

There was absolutely NOTHING about a mobile QB on the other team that was the cause for any butts getting handed to anyone.

No, let's talk about Schaub's Red Zone INT in the first quarter. Or settling for a field goal in the second quarter after recovering a fumble at the Seattle 19. Or the Pick Six - of ALL the plays - that tied the game up. Or the fact that EVERY SINGLE possession in the second half resulted in a punt or a turnover than lead to points for Seattle. There are only so many stops that the defense can make, especially with ANOTHER Pick Six thrown into the mix.

No, the Texans got their butts handed to them by an immobile QB wearing their own uniform.

Overrated? you mean like SB winning HC's overrated?

What has Gary ever won in his lifetime as a HC?

Give me a SB winning HC over Gary every day and twice on Sunday's. I say hire Jay Gruden (He's cheaper) and keep the WC offense so the changeover wont be to traumatic.

Those two statements don't fit each other. Wilson made plays with his feet when his team needed them. It probably wouldn't have been enough to win if it weren't for Schaub, but those plays mattered.

I don't put the int in the red zone squarely on him...If i recall, it was a 3 step drop, meaning the ball's gotta come out fast...plus OD had a shot at it..it hit him in his hands twice. Noone was running a deep route on that play. Apart from that, you don't have time to come off your primary read and go to someone else on those type of plays.

....Like i said in the game thread Seattle did their homework & knew it was coming which is why so many damn defenders were in the vicinity....plus it was run on the short side of the field..

That INT was squarely on Schaub. OD was bracketed and the defender jumped in front of it and got a hand on it. OD subsequently got a hand on it, but that ball never reached him cleanly. Since it was already in the air from the first defender, he had to try and make a play on it. Schaub should have never thrown that ball.
